Every time I hear someone say "I'm too busy" to do something, a little puppy dies and I want to stab myself in the eye with a katana blade. I don't think people realize how good we have it right now: We're young, we're only responsible for ourselves, and we can do basically anything we want. If you think about the responsibilities we'll have in 20 years—or even 5—you start to appreciate that doing almost anything will never get easier than it is now.

So, lifehackers, tell us: what was easier for you back when you were young (or now that you are)? Let us know in the comments or to tips at lifehacker.com.
